I definitely agree.. Not much of an auto-x'er myself but check out my first thread on the e90. I found it very quiet and capable but not as lively and lowered in feedback. I really felt it was audi-like in a good way but that the e46 had more of a sporty feel (though perhaps less capable). I did not find it slow - butt-feel felt about equal with zhp/e46 with a touch more torque in the bottom and a little less zing up top.
The e90 clutch felt better and there was a less "busy" and more removed feel in chassis/steering.
